Chapter 734 The Grand Finale (7)
Now that Li Zhengqian controls the royal guards, the emperor and the capital, he is very confident and courageous. He even confronted the king of Shu and said: "His Royal Highness Shu's words are so unreasonable! The crown prince and King Xiang died overseas. What evidence is needed? The Crown Prince and King Xiang went to sea and did not return for several months, this is evidence! Do you still expect to find the bodies of the Crown Prince and King Xiang from Nanyang?"

The emperor suddenly said: "Have you had enough noise? I'm not dead yet!"

Master Yu, Qian Pengyang and the King of Shu immediately knelt down, expressing panic.Seeing this, the maid in the palace instinctively found an inconspicuous place and knelt down to avoid the disaster.

When Li Zhengqian and King An met, they also had to kneel down.

The emperor closed his eyes and calmed down for a while. After a while, he said coldly, "I'm tired and need to rest. After you have settled your argument, come and talk to me tomorrow!"

When Lord Yu heard this, he knew in his heart that the emperor must have been coerced by King An and Li Zhengqian.But he was not a fool, he didn't say anything at the moment, but he was thinking about how to contact his colleagues to rescue the emperor after he went out.

Qian Pengyang was well aware of all this, but King An and Li Zhengqian conspired against each other, but he didn't tell him. He only called him over afterwards to ask his opinion.What else could he say, of course it was the same as before, saying "everything is up to the mentor" to get away with it, and then hurriedly wrote to his son.

The King of Shu was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his expression. In fact, he was much more at ease now than before.The emperor was controlled by King An, how could the King of Shu not know?Before, he had been very worried about the extent of the emperor's injury, but now seeing that the emperor's body seemed to be fine, he was relieved.

As long as the emperor is still well, he can think of a way.At present throughout the Sui Dynasty, there are still many people who are loyal to the emperor and the prince.The only trouble is that he is not sure if something really happened to the crown prince!
Although Wang An and Li Zhengqian were unwilling, they could not clearly raise the banner of treason, so they could only respectfully back down.Wang An thought that he had given the old man two antidote today, and he might force him to take it easy, and he would have to wait for the next poisoning.Come back in two days!
Yue Chaocheng's analysis came out soon.This antidote is not a real antidote at all, but a poison that deepens the toxicity.That is to say, there is no specific antidote for the poison on the emperor, and he can only think of ways to detoxify slowly.

After hearing Yue Chaocheng's return, Ling Yun was also very angry, King An was really vicious!

Ling Yun notified An Ran immediately, and carried out the planned plan, and executed the beheading operation tonight.

He had already ambushed with his men, and that night he raided the hidden guards arranged by Xuan Twelve in the emperor's palace, and quickly captured the eunuch and maid who had taken refuge in King An.

Almost at the same time, Dugu Kai led people to assassinate the chief and deputy commanders and his newly promoted confidantes who had just been placed by King An in the Forbidden Army and Xiaoguo Camp in Miyagi.Holding the imperial decree written by the emperor himself, he subdued the Imperial Army and the Xiaoguo Battalion in just an hour, allowing them to regain their direction and protect the safety of the palace.

The original commanders of the Forbidden Army, Xiaoguo Battalion and Imperial City Guards were still imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Dugu Kai also released them with the emperor's order, and the officer was reinstated.

However, the beheading plan that was carried out almost at the same time had an accident with the commander of the Imperial City Guard.

It turned out that the new chief and deputy commanders of the Imperial City Guards were cultivated by the Li family. Li Zhengqian was frustrated in the palace today, so he called them to the palace to discuss matters and inquire about the control of the Imperial City Guards.However, the Forbidden Army and Xiaoguo Battalion Commander did not call over for questioning because the defense task was heavy and it was not the key point.

This person was in Li's mansion, and Ling Yun's people didn't dare to entrust him in to assassinate him, and they didn't dare to kill their confidants who stayed in the imperial city guards in advance to arouse their vigilance.They could only wait and wait for these people to come out of the Shangshu Mansion before taking action.However, before anyone came out of Li's Mansion, the Forbidden Army Xiaoguo Camp changed hands, and the news that the palace had lost control spread to Shangshu's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion.

Upon receiving this shocking news, Li Zhengqian made a prompt decision and asked the imperial city guards to immediately block the city gate (in fact, the city gate had already been closed at this time), put martial law in the city, and sent people to surround the palace and directly forced the palace.Li Zhengqian understood very well that now, the Li clan and King An had no other way to go!Once the emperor returns to power, their Li family will die without a place to bury them!
After analyzing a lot of news, Li Zhengqian was even more like an enemy when he learned that the person who shot was the prince.Is the prince really alive?came back?But he quickly dismissed the idea.

If the prince is really not dead, as long as he stands up and shouts, those rumors will naturally be self-defeating. Whether it is the Imperial City Guard, the Imperial Army and the Xiaoguo Battalion, I am afraid that they will all turn against each other, but there is no need to resort to assassination. .

Since it wasn't the prince who came back, but Dugu Kai acted, it must be instigated by someone.It is said that the prince went to sea and left Lingyun in Quanzhou. He had disappeared more than a month ago. Maybe he brought someone back to Beijing, right?

It's just that Xuan Twelve didn't get any news, and the control of the palace has already been taken away, which is really surprising.Could it be that they could fly into the palace quietly?Naturally, these people cannot fly without wings, but it is possible to be a mouse in a tunnel!It is said that the imperial palaces of all dynasties have secret passages leading out of the city...

Thinking of this, Li Zhengqian immediately understood, and immediately ordered a thorough search of all places outside Chang'an City to find out if any strangers had moved in recently, and based on the terrain outside Chang'an City, deduced several possible secret passage exits, which made people believe in the search.

When King An heard the news, he rushed to Shangshu Mansion overnight to discuss with his uncle Li Zhengqian.

Li Zhengqian was also waiting for someone to answer in the study, and stayed up all night.

"Uncle, do you think the prince is really alive? Now, what should we do? It's a pity that we have too little military power, if not..." King An's face was gloomy, thinking that he had paid so much Duo, originally thought that victory was in sight, but unexpectedly the situation reversed overnight. He has not been emperor for a day, how can he be reconciled?
Li Zhengqian looked at King An carefully, and sighed: "If you had made up your mind earlier, we would have used force from the beginning. Now, Your Highness, you have ascended the throne."
